Minneapolis & St. Louts
Aberdeen News, September 7: The
city of Webster, in Day county, is
quite hopeful of securing the new
extension of the Minneapolis & St.
(Louis railroad to the earth. T^
years ago the road surveyed a route
from Wallace, on the Aberdeen-Wat
ertown branch, northward into North
Dakota, pasfcing through Webster.
Recently, it is said at Webster, sur
veyors were instructed to start from
Wallace and resurvey the route.
The division superintendent of Wat
ertown visited Webster a few days
ago and interviewed a number of the
business men relative to the possi
bilities of business to be secured by
the railroad should it decide to
build through Webster and is said
to have received considerable en
couragement.
Bierd's Inspection Tour
v'
W. G. Bierd, general, manager of
the St. Louis, was a member of an
automobile party which drove from
Watertown northward into North
Dakota in search of the most feas
ible route for ,the extension. Thg
party drove to Florence, and thence
to Waubay and Webster, both of
which towns are on the Milwaukee
line. From Webster they drove
northward throsgh the coteaus in
northern Day and Marshall counties
and explored that portion of the
country thoroughly in search of the
best possible route through the hills.
Tito Watertown men returned home
aft6r reaching the state line between
North and South Dakota, but Gener
al" Manager Bierd continued north
ward and will return to Watertown
later, probably by way of Ortley, also
on the Milwaukee road. By the time
he-will have returned, a wide strip
of country will have been explored,
and the general manager will doubt
less be aible to determine, pretty
definitely the route the extension will:
take. Meantime a corps of civil en
gineers have unloaded their equipment
at Wallace, and are awaiting Mr1.
Bierd's return before taking up the
work of selecting a route to the north
ward.
Coach No. 160 and express land mall
car No. 665, of the St. Louis, were
brought to this city Saturday in a
badly demoralized condition. They
were part of a mixed train that was
wrecked near LeBeau about two
weeks ago. The interior of the cars
were nearly cleaned out-^-seata. lamps
ete.i all more or less damaged. One
eide of the cars had about half the
usual number of windows, the bal
ance having been broken when the
cars went down the embankment. J|g,
one was injured in the wreck. |gf||
